Very basic content management script required

Alanmelon · 25-01-2005, 22:13

To cut a long story short, I run a site which I no longer have the time or effort to update.
I'm looking for some very basic content management script which will allow one or two designated contributors to log on and update content in a few different news categories, then for that content to be displayed on an index page.
I currently have Invision Board installed and considered forming a private category allowing only access to the contributors, then somehow accessing the content of the category from the SQL database and displaying it. I canned this idea because I have no idea how to code it, but if anyone can help.....?

Look on hotscripts.com there are hundreds of them using ASP, Perl or PHP.

I'd look for an old version of Movable Type, you can post to any page you want, you can allow comments & trackbacks, have multiple users etc...
It works very well but it takes a fair bit of tweaking to get right.

We had over 30 users on blogs.nthellworld.co.uk and the system scaled very well, I only removed it because of security concerns which would not relate to any other site than NTHW.

After scouting about I went for CuteNews. Seems to do what I want quite nicely...now to get the template right!
